Hi,

Striek wins a cookie!..................there were .mda and .mdb files.

I think that "da" stands for "data application" and "db" for "database"

Now these two are indexed and cross related, so what you need to do is re-build that relationship, as it is obviously broken.

It would be best if you tried with a "clean" recovered version, rather than one you have messed with. Also you may now have to go and recover the xxxx.mda component as well. At least get the two files together in the same folder.

Please let us know the version of Access you are using.
